Xu Xiuyuan didn't speak. He looked at the second senior brother with complex eyes, then at Tao Yao, and the thirty thousand Kunlun disciples who were still standing there without moving.
The second senior brother didn't care whether he spoke or not, he raised his voice and said to millions of people: "Everyone, my little junior sister's behavior is somewhat unusual. However, since Kunlun recognized her as a disciple, he was sure that she was of good character.
Noble.
Ordinary people are so short-sighted that they often have a blind eye. They heard the gossip of some junior sisters, and then they changed their taste in the gossip.
However, we immortal cultivators cannot be as short-sighted as ordinary people and rush to conclusions without knowing the whole picture. I think after today’s explanation, you have already made your own decisions about whether the junior sister is a human or a monster, good or evil.
judge."
Second Senior Brother's words made the 70,000 Kunlun disciples among the millions of cultivators move their eyes slightly, seeing that they were ready to move. As long as Second Senior Brother said a few more words, they would return to Kunlun.
The second senior brother has always had a sharp eye, how could he not see such a formation? He was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue it when he spoke a few more words to get the 70,000 disciples to return to Kunlun. Suddenly, a sudden change occurred.
The second senior brother's lips were slightly parted. Before he could speak, Xu Xiuyuan, who was silent, spoke first: "Senior Brother Guannan, regarding Tao Yao as a human being and not a human being, the dust can only be truly settled after he finishes speaking."
The second senior brother frowned: "He?"
Facing the second senior brother's hesitation, Xu Xiuyuan slowly grinned and gently raised his sleeves, the soft corners of his clothes creating a beautiful arc in this move.
He appeared in response.
The person who came turned out to be Tao Yao's spiritual pet. He was a ghost who was chased by cultivators in the past and almost died without a burial place. Now he is the prince of the ghost world who has just been recognized by the ghost master.
The smile that was about to succeed on the corner of the second senior brother's lips froze, and those on the Kunlun side who didn't recognize him or knew who he was also had frozen expressions.
Master Cen frowned and asked hurriedly: "Little fellow Taoist, what is going on?"
Taoyao smiled bitterly, unable to answer the Master's question.
She didn't know why Yifei suddenly appeared in Kunlun and served as a witness for Xu Xiuyuan to question his contract owner.
Or don’t you know that as a spiritual pet, if you dare to betray your master, what will be the price?
No, he won't know.
But if he knows everything, but still chooses to come here to help others to kill her, then how deep must be the hatred for her buried deep in his heart?
Mr. Cen muttered: "My little fellow Taoist, although the judgments made by mortals on the three tribes of demons, ghosts and monsters are unfair, the formation of this evaluation is by no means a sourceless water."
"Um?"
Master Cen sighed: "My little fellow Taoist, you may have to prepare for the worst."
"The worst?"
Master Cen stretched out his hand and placed his palm lightly on Taoyao's shoulder. There was a small but unmistakable force under his palm. He lowered his voice and said: "The former Lord of Jimo City only met you once, and he is already old. Even if he
No matter how precise his words are, Kunlun can still doubt the authenticity of his words. Moreover, he took the initiative to plead for you at the beginning, so his words have the weakest power.
As for the two Tao family brothers, because they are your closest blood relatives, their claim that you are a demon is much more credible than what ordinary people say. However, they have no evidence in their hands, and the Tao family was destroyed that year.
It is your own fault. Even if others say something about you, they can only say that you are callous and heartless, but they cannot say that you are against the right path. Therefore, although their words have some power, they are not enough to condemn you.
But, it’s not different.”
Yes, it is not different, because he is her spiritual pet, and the spiritual pet is almost the closest existence in a cultivator's life, and its closeness is even better than parents, Taoist companions, and all relatives and friends.
Master Cen let go of his hand, and the moment his palm left her shoulder, Master Cen smiled faintly. His laughter was like a bell, clear and indifferent: "Little Taoist friend, don't be afraid, no matter who is standing next to you in the future."
No matter how much it rains, I will always be there.”
"Master, please stop joking at this time."
Comforting sounds good, but if it is just empty and powerless comfort, it is better not to listen, because if you listen to it, you will be unable to restrain your hope.
If the comfort is just comfort, then the person who has heard the comfort but finds that the comfort is just comfort will collapse faster.
She doesn't want anything like drinking poison to quench her thirst.
"you do not believe me?"
Why should she trust Master Cen? Because he was once very kind to her, or because he was obsessed with her cooking skills, or because fifty years ago he did not hesitate to sacrifice his cultivation to save her life?
no the same.
This time, if Master is true to what he said, even if she is proven to be a demon, he will still stand beside her, then he will be buried with her, and together with her, he will be cultivated by millions of people and be immortalized by hundreds of thousands of Kunlun immortals.
Those who break bones and scatter ashes.
She thought that the Master was not so great that he could sacrifice his life for her, an insignificant disciple who could wash his hands and make soup for him, but always with conditions.
Tao Yao smiled, looking at Yi Fei who had walked to Xu Xiuyuan's side, and said to the master without looking away: "Old fellow, there are many peach blossom wines I brewed buried under the peach blossom trees in Pinhen Mountain. If I die,
Now, remember to dig it out and drink it."
"Small--"
"Old man, it's not worth paying the price of your life for a dispensable meal." After saying that, Taoyao raised the corners of her lips and said, "Besides, you are not young anymore, so you can't live without fear."
Soon, it will be time to cherish the few years left, to spend time wandering, and to be happy."
"Small--"
Tao Yao suddenly tilted her head and met Master Cen's eyes with sad eyes: "Master, even if you don't save me, I won't scold you on the road to hell."
"..."
The sky is getting darker and darker.
But it is not dark at all under the Kunlun Mountains. The cultivators either use magical instruments as lights or paper talismans as lamps. They light tens of thousands of lights to illuminate the Kunlun Mountains in the dark night.
Yi Fei stopped beside Xu Xiuyuan, separated by dozens of people, and Tao Yao, who was hiding behind the fourth senior brother, looked at each other from a distance. Through the bright lights, Tao Yao saw the deep hatred in his eyes.
She had never noticed or hated her so much!
Yi Fei raised his hand slightly and bowed hastily: "Gui Yao Yi Fei, I would like to greet you all."
Immediately, the world began to whisper.
"Ghost? How could it be a ghost?"
"How can such lowly people be in this world?"
Whispers were like a wave, covering the foot of Kunlun Mountain in an instant.
Taoyao's eyes were still on Yifei.
He is not a ghost, but she knows very well how much he hates being born as a ghost. Therefore, she also knows that he hates people calling him "ghost" the most.
To him, this is contempt and shame.
But today, in front of millions of cultivators and hundreds of thousands of Kunlun immortals, he didn't say that he was the prince of the ghost world, but only said that he was either a ghost or a demon. What's the point?
Xu Xiuyuan raised his hand and stopped the whispering: "Everyone, it is true that he is a ghost, but he is also the prince of the current ghost world, and he is the next ghost master selected by the ghost master."
Whispers eliminate the invisible.
Tao Yao raised the corners of her lips with sarcasm and said to the Master beside her: "So it's never the ghosts and monsters that make people hate and despise, but the ghosts and monsters that are not noble enough, right?"
The Master nodded: "Of course."
"Then why do they have to hate me?"
"Um?"
"I am a great demon, but I am a disciple of Jing Shangxian, one of the one hundred thousand immortals in Kunlun. With my status, am I inferior to the prince of the ghost world?"
Master paused, pondered for a moment and then replied: "It's different."
"What's the difference?"
The master shook his head and did not continue to answer.
Xu Xiuyuan returned the greeting to Yi Fei: "Your Highness, please forgive them for their rudeness. Because ghosts and demons have the word "demon" in them, people are somewhat prejudiced against them. Your Highness, please be considerate and don't argue with them."
Yi Fei waved his hand and said very magnanimously: "Elder Xu, there is no need to be like this. I know why ghosts and monsters are looked down upon by the three realms. There is no need for Elder Xu to save face for this temple."
"..." Yifei's dry reply
, the politeness on Xu Xiuyuan's face was a little embarrassing, but Xu Xiuyuan's strength lies in his ability to keep his expression steady no matter how the situation suddenly turns, "Your Highness is generous, but Xu is narrow-minded."
"Elder Xu, there is no need to continue with the unnecessary politeness. I am here for one thing only." After saying that, Yi Fei once again fixed his gaze on Tao Yao, "Who are the hundred thousand cultivators in Kunlun?
Not all cultivators may know this, but you have all seen this temple before, so I don’t think you need any further introduction from me.”
Lu Li frowned and asked angrily: "Ghosts and demons are not the same. As a spiritual pet, it is my duty to protect the master. You openly betrayed the master. Aren't you afraid of being backlashed by the contract?"
Yi Fei smiled lightly and answered calmly: "If I were afraid, I wouldn't come here."
After saying this, he raised his voice slightly and said: "Before I became the prince of the ghost world, I came to the human world once as a ghost demon. At that time, I was regarded as a demon by cultivators and chased me everywhere.
At that time, because I was seriously injured, I had no choice but to reveal my demon body and run for my life. Just when my life was hanging by a thread, I met Tao Yao who had just left Kunlun and was about to go to Tao's house.
Xiu, who has come to hunt down and kill this temple, should remember this matter."
As soon as Yifei finished speaking, Li Shubai from the Li family appeared on the stage. He politely bowed to the senior people in the room and greeted him. After being polite, he answered Yifei: "Your Highness, Yifei was the one who led people to chase you.
That’s me.”
"This palace remembers you."
Li Shubai hurriedly apologized: "You are not Your Highness. Please forgive me for my shallow cultivation at that time. I could not see that you were a ghost rather than a demon, so I just went on a business trip."
Yi Fei nodded and replied: "It's not because of your shallow cultivation. When I turned into a demon vulture, the demonic aura on my body was far greater than the ghostly aura. You may have misunderstood, but that's reasonable."
"Thank you. Your Highness is not magnanimous. He is willing to say this in order to excuse Mr. Li."
Yi Fei shook his head and said: "I am not excusing you, but telling the truth. Everyone in the three realms knows that ghosts and monsters are heaven-defying existences that are born from ghosts and demons across the realm, but few people know the characteristics of ghosts and monsters.
.
In fact, I was seriously injured and turned into a demon body. Except for beings with advanced cultivation like Kunlun Master, ordinary people would not be able to see that I am not a demon, but a ghost."
"Eh?" Li Shubai was surprised, "But at that time, the two immortals Tao and Lu in Kunlun rescued His Highness, wasn't it because they realized that His Highness was a ghost rather than a demon?" This chapter has been completed!
